5月28日，美国麻萨诸塞州大学达特茅斯分校Yuegang Zuo教授应邀来闽南师范大学开展了一场题为“Estrogens and Environment”，即“雌激素与环境”的学术讲座。本次讲座由化学与环境科学系和现代分离分析科学与技术省高校重点实验室联合主办。

    Zuo教授首先介绍了雌激素的来源、危害，然后介绍了其课题组研究成果，包括雌激素富集与分离分析技术、雌激素的转化降解和对鱼类、龙虾等的危害；雌激素的生物降解和光降解途径，并提出了一些新的分离分析方法和生物转化及降解的研究方法。化学与环境科学系环境科学专业本科生、研究生和部分教师听取了此次讲座。

    会后，Zuo教授与部分老师就科研和教学等问题展开了座谈和交流，并在系副主任翁文教授的陪同下参观了我系现代分离分析科学与技术省高校重点实验室。

 

    Yuegang Zuo received his B.S degree in analytical chemistry from Wuhan University in 1982, his M.S. degree in environmental chemistry with Prof. Shuwei Pang from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1984, and his Ph.D. in environmental science with Prof. J. Hoigne and Prof. W. Stumm from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in 1992. After a few years at Florida International University as a postdoctoral fellow and a research scientist, he has been working at Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth as an assistant, associate and full professor and Director of Graduate Programs since 1999. Most of his research work has focused on the chemical reactions of organic and inorganic substances and their transportation in natural environments at a fundamental level: i.e. pathways, mechanisms, and kinetics. Most of his research work has focused on field measurements and quantitative kinetic experiments to study the sources, distribution and sinks of some organic and inorganic pollutants in the atmosphere, natural water and sediments.
